Solved: Problem running 'make test' on MacOSX

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/03/10]

Hello Stas,

Thank you for your suggestion. I read through the thread as you  
suggested,
and the underlying fault seems to be permissions related. I built  
mod_perl
under my own login, which is an ADS network account, and noticed that  
the
UID is a very large integer. I somehow thought that this could be  
contributing
to the problem and so decided to create a local user account on my  
MacOSX system.
This account lists much lower integers for UID and GID in the shell.

I rebuilt mod_perl under this new, local account and then ran 'make  
test'.
It all ran sensationally well this time and all the tests passed.
Thank you for the pointer that planted the seed.


Best Regards,

Ron.
